BY GLORIA O’KOYE
When was the last time
that you sat in silence?
Where every detailed sound
From the whistling wind,
Talking trees,
Busy traffic made of streams,
Tingled the ear drums
Away from manmade machines.
When was the last time
Embracing nature gifts
was of great importance?
Spilling secrets
No human mind would comprehend,
Only the wisest ancients
Found deep in the Earth’s crust
Would tell nothing,
No one,
A type of loyalty that no fame and money
Would make it
Turn into a sellout.
When was the last interaction
Between skin and sand
Had the body had time to heal itself.
Transferring tensions into the ground
Balancing unwanted weight
Into Mother Nature’s arms.
When was the last time
Natural medicinal plants and food
Was replenishing
Detoxing clogged up organs.
Instead of destroying natural remedies,
And claim cures by injecting the body
Will more poison.
Relying on money hungry policies.
Bylaws instigating destruction.
When was the last time
Silence was allowed to answer
Mind boggling questions.
Allow silence to discern
To caution on everything around
Only silence will speak the loudest!
Trust in silence.
